Article Description.

This is so. Finally, I fell out the case to face the "Included" REDMI 4X. Of course, why this happened from customers did not achieve, like "came the downhill, and somehow it happened so much" (although on the embarrassment of the guy years 10, apparently the Son, he knows the reason). Do not matter. In fact, we have: the phone responds to the switching button, to charge the indicator, in Recovery is not included in the FastBoot, too, neither feet. Computers is defined as "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E COM .... read on the Internet about two recovery methods: 1) via TestPoint, 2) with DFC (Reduction from Deep Flash Cable). Option 1 dropped immediately (warranty body, And it is practically impossible to open the aluminum case without traces), by the way the SC, such as the official, requested 3k rubles for recovery (not a warranty case). Well, okay, the lyrics are enough for business. What we need: 1) good cable microUSB. 2) Stationery knife . 3) Miflash. 4) Firmware for Miflash / FastBoot. 5) Cup of coffee or tea (optional), Corvalol.6) Carefully read the post to the end and ask yourself "I am ready for this?". If you begin. Take a cable And carefully remove the external insulation for a length of 4-5 cm. (In my case, the cable was with the screen that added problems), we see 4 wires: red VCC, white Data-, green Data +, black GND. Attention! Attention! Uvagi! Colors can Being others !!! To make it easier to determine which wires are needed, we look at the picture at the end of the A hundred. Next, we need to remove isolation from Data + (in my case green) and GND (black) wires, quite a bit, to have enough closure to each other. Next, download the firmware for FastBoot (I took this) and unpack it (better in the root of the disk). Download and install Miflash, I took from office and reboot the computer (maybe it is not necessary, but the habit). Take our cable and connect it to the phone, you do not need to computer yet! Closing the bare wires among themselves, and only now we connect to the computer, strictly in uSB port 2.0, we are waiting for seconds 5 and disconnect the wires and watch them no longer come into contact. The computer must file a signal that a new device is detected and start installing the drivers for it. Let him put, after completion we go to the device manager and see what he set us. If the driver for "Qualcom HS-USB QDLoader 9008" is installed, it means everything is fine. If the "Qualcomm HS-USB Diagnostics 900E", then click the right key to update the driver "Run the driver search on this computer". Select "Select from the list already installed drivers" Take a tick "Only compatible devices", select Qualcom in the left column, in the right driver with 9008 number. It is possible after installing the drivers, the system will require a restart, in order to display the device. Here you can not do anything, restart. It is also possible to swear to swear on the lack of signature, then you have to turn off the check digital signature Drivers in Windows, here as they say: Okay Google. Run Miflash on behalf of the administrator. Click on "SELECT" and specify the path to the folder with the firmware. In the lower right corner, we celebrate "Clean All and Lock". Click the "Refresh" button if the drivers are installed correctly, we will see the phone (in the form of any combat) in the central part of the program window. Click "Flash" and waiting for the end of the firmware installation. After a successful firmware, the program reports this. Disconnect the phone from the computer and restart. To do this, clamp the inclusion key for 10-15 seconds, then let go and clamp again until the vibration is triggered. The first launch was for a minute 20 (here I needed Corvalol). As a result, we have a fully working phone with a firmware version 8.2.10.0 and a locked loader.

Flagship Smartphone Xiaomi Mi4c, released at the end of 2015, due to its high technical characteristics It is a very attractive offer today. To fully disclose the potential of the device, users from our country will have to be resorted to the installation of the localized MIUI firmware or custom solution. This procedure is fairly implemented, if you follow the instructions from the material suggested below.

The powerful hardware platform from Qualcomm with a large performance margin practically does not cause complaints from MI4C users, but the software part can disappoint many of the Xiaomi devices admirers, because for the model there is no official global version of MIUI, since the flagship is intended for sale exclusively in China.

Lack of Russian interface language google services And other shortcomings of the Chinese MIUI, originally installed by the manufacturer, are solved by installing one of the localized versions of the system from domestic developers. The main goal of this article is to tell how to do it quickly and fragile. Initially, consider the installation of the official firmware to return the device in factory condition and recovery of "surpoked" smartphones.

Responsibility for the result of the fulfillment of the following instructions is entirely on the user, and only he is on his own risk and risk decides on the implementation of certain manipulations with the device!

Regardless of the initial state of Xiaomi M4Cs in the program plan before installing android the desired version, It is necessary to prepare the necessary tools and the device itself. The scrupulous execution of the following steps largely predetermines the success of the firmware.

Drivers and special modes

There are several ways to equip the operating system with components that allow MI4C conjugation and PC to obtain the ability to conduct manipulations with the memory of the device through special software. The simplest and most fast way get drivers - this is the installation of the company tool Xiaomi. For the firmware of the brand devices - carrying everything you need.

Installation of Drivers

Modes of work

If the drivers are installed correctly, no problems with the definition of the device can not occur. Open "Device Manager" And observe devices displayed in its window. Connect the device in the following modes:

The usual state of the phone with running android in file transfer mode. Enable file sharing options, i.e. MTP mode, you can draw the notification curtain on the device's device down and taping on the item that opens the list of options for connecting the smartphone. In the opening list, choose "Media Device (MTP)".

IN "Dispatcher" We see the following:

Connecting a smartphone with a debug-on via USB. To turn on debugging, go along the way:

"Device Manager" Must display the following:

Mode "FastBoot" . This mode of operation when installing Android In MI4C, as in many other Xiaomi devices, it is used very often. To start the device in this mode:

The device is defined as "Android Bootloader Interface".

Emergency mode.In a situation where the MI4C software part is seriously damaged and the device is not loaded in android and even in mode "FastBoot"when connected to a PC device is defined as .

When the phone does not give signs at all, and the PC does not respond when connecting the device, climb the button on the USB port connected to the USB port "Food" and "Volume-", Hold them about 30 seconds until the device is determined by the operating system.

In case the device is not defined correctly in any mode, you can use files from the driver package for manual installation available for download by reference:

Bacup

During the work of any android device, a lot of different information is accumulated in it representing the value for the user. During the firmware, all data in most cases will be destroyed, therefore, to prevent their irrevocable loss, you should create backup as soon as possible.

To learn about some methods for creating a backup before serious intervention in the software part of the smartphone, you can from the lesson by reference:

In addition to other methods, you can recommend using highly efficient copy tools. important information and its recovery subsequently integrated into the official versions of the MIUI, which are installed in the MI4C manufacturer. It is assumed that the entrance to Mi Account on the device is made.

Unlock bootloader

Prior to the MI4C firmware, make sure that there is no lack of blocking the device loader and, if necessary, to carry out the unlock procedure, performing steps of instructions from the article:

The unlock usually does not cause any problems, but with the status check and the acquaintance of the unlocking of the bootloader may be difficult. Xiaomi When issuing the model under consideration, did not block the latter loader, and the Mi4z bootloader could be blocked in the event that operating system systems were installed on the device. 7.1.6.0 (Stable), 6.1.7 (Developer).

Among other things, determine the status of the bootloader standard method, Described in the article on the link above, that is, it will not be possible, since with any state of the model bootloader when the FastBoot OEM command is tooldown the same status is given the same status.

Summarizing the foregoing, it can be said that it is necessary to carry out an unlock procedure via MiunLock in any case.

If the bootloader is not blocked initially, official utility Displays the appropriate message:

Additionally

There is another requirement that needs to be performed before switching to the installation of system software in M4C. Disconnect graphic key And Password Lock Screen!

When moving to some versions of Miui, failure to comply with this recommendation may lead to the inability to log in!

Firmware

Install the operating system in Xiaomi MI4C, as in all manufacturer's devices, you can several official methods, as well as using universal tools from third-party developers. The choice of the method depends on the state of the device in the program plan, as well as the goal, that is, Android versions, which is managed by a smartphone on the completion of all manipulations.

Method 1: Android application "Update"

Officially, Xiaomi proposes to set the system software to their devices using the built-in MIUI tools intended for installation of updates from the branded shell. By completing the following steps in the instructions, you can install any official firmware for Xiaomi MI4C. You can download the latest system on the official manufacturer's website.

As a package used for installation in the example below, a developer MIUI version is applied. 6.1.7 . You can download the package by reference:

Method 2: Miflash

It is safe to say that for all Android devices Xiaomi, there is a possibility of firmware using a branded product created by the manufacturer. Details about working with a tool is described in the article on the reference below, within the framework of this Material, we will focus on the features of the use of the tool as the MI4C model firmware.

For example, establish the same official Miui as in the method of installing the OS through the Android application "Update"but a package that can be downloaded on the link below is designed to install exactly through Miflash in phone connection mode "FastBoot".

Additionally. Restoration

Miflash can be used as a MI4C recovery tool to the factory state after installing the system blocking the loader, as well as restoring smartphones after serious software failures. In such cases, the firmware of the developer MIUI should be firmware 6.1.7 in emergency operation Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008 ».

The procedure for overwriting the MI4C system partitions in emergency mode completely repeats the firmware instructions in fastbut mode, only in Miflash is not determined serial number Devices, and the COM port number.

You can translate the device to mode, including using the command sent via:
FastBoot OEM EDL.

Method 3: FastBoot

Experienced users who engaged in firmware xiaomi smartphones Repeatedly, they know that the MIUI packets laid on the official website can be installed in the device and without using MIFLASH, and directly via FastBoot. The advantages of the method include the rate of execution of the procedure, as well as the absence of the need to install any utilities.

Method 4: Restoration via QFIL

In the process of manipulations with the Xiaomi MI4C software, most often due to incorrect and rash user actions, as well as as a result of serious software failures, the device can enter the state when it seems that the phone "died". The device does not turn on, does not respond to keystrokes, indicators are not lit, is determined by the computer as Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008 » or not determined at all, etc.

In such a situation, recovery is required, which is carried out through the branded utility from the Qualcomm manufacturer to install the system in android devices built on the hardware platform of the same name. The tool received the name QFIL and is part of QPST software package.

Unpack the archive with QPST and install the application, following the instructions of the installer.

Unpack the fastbut firmware. It is recommended to use to restore the Developer version of MIUI 6.1.7
Run qfil. This can be done by finding the program in the Main Menu of Windows

or clicking on the utility icon in the directory where QPST was installed.

Switch "SELECT BUILD TYPE" Install in the Regulation "FLAT BUILD".

We connect the "ipyrp" xiaomi mi4c to the USB port of PC. Ideally, the device will decide in the program - the inscription NO PORT AVIABLE At the top of the window will change to Qualcomm HS-USB QLoader 9008 ».

If the smartphone is not determined, click "Reduce volume" and "Turning on" At the same time, we hold the combination until the moment "Device Manager" The corresponding Som port will appear.
In field "PROGRAMMER PATH" Add file prog_emmc_firehose_8992_ddr.mbn. From catalog "Images"located in the folder with the unpacked firmware. The conductor window in which you want to specify the path to the file, opens by pressing the button "Browse ...".

Press "Load XML ..."that opens two windows of the conductor in turn, in which you want to mark the files offered by the program rawprogram0.xml.,

and then patch0.xml. And click the button "Open" twice.

Everything is ready for the beginning of the procedure for overwriting the sections of the device's memory, click the button "DOWNLOAD".

The process of transferring files is logged in the field "Status". In addition, the execution indicator is filled.

We wait for the end of the procedures. After the appearance in the Log Log field "FINISH DOWNLOAD" Turn off the cable and run the device.

Method 5: Localized and custom firmware

After installing official version Systems in one of the methods described above can be transferred to the Xiaomi MI4C clarification procedure into a state fully revealing the potential of this high-level device.

As mentioned above, the full use of all the capabilities of the smartphone by users from the Russian-speaking region is possible only as a result of the installation of localized MIUI. On the features of such solutions, you can learn from the article on the link below. The proposed material also contains links to developer resources for which you can download recent versions Translated shells.

Installation of modified recovery

To equip a MI4C localized MIUI or a modified system from third-party developers, the possibilities of a custom recovery environment are used.

For the model under consideration, there are many TWRP versions and when loading the recovery should take into account the version of Android, which is installed in the device before installing the medium. For example, the image designed for android 5 does not work if the phone works under Android control 7 and vice versa.

Installing an inappropriate recovery image can lead to the impossibility of launching the device!

Install universal in relation android versions TWRP for Xiaomi MI4C. The image used in the example and available for downloading by reference below can be installed on any version of Android, and when using other images, you should pay attention to the destination of the file!

Installing the modified recovery environment in the model in question is easiest to implement via FastBoot. We load the toolkit on the link below and unpack the disc received in the root C:.

We place the file TWRP_MI4C.IMG.obtained as a result of unpacking the archive downloaded by reference above in the catalog "Adb_fastboot".

FastBoot Flash Recovery TWRP_MI4C.IMG

Successful operation is confirmed by the display of the message. "Writing 'Recovery ... Okay" In the console.

Turn off the device from PC and boot into the recovery by pressing and holding a combination on the smartphone "Volume-" + "Food" Before the appearance of the TWRP logo on the screen.

Important! After each boot on the recovery environment set as a result of the previous steps of this instruction, you should wait for a three-minute pause before using the recovery. During this time, the touchscreen will not work after launch, this is the feature of the proposed version of the medium.

After the first start, select the Russian recovery interface language by clicking the button. "SELECT LANGUAGE" And let me change system partition Device memory by shifting the appropriate switch to the right.

Installation of translated firmware

After receiving the Custom Recovery TWRP, all the possibilities for changing the firmware appear for the device. Localized MIUs are distributed in the form of zip-packets that are easily installed using a modified recovery environment. Work in TWRP is described in detail in the following material, we recommend reading.

First you need to find and download the file with the firmware itself. You can take it:

On the official website of Xiaomi - http://en.miui.com/download-240.html, where several last versions are laid out official firmware On the basis of Android.
